David Bowie is a music legend. He was one of the most original,
innovative1 and
influential2 rock stars in music history. He was also an actor, fashion
icon3, record producer, artist and art critic. He was born in London on the 8th of January, 1947 and died at the age of 69 on the 10th of January, 2016. His real name was David Robert Jones but he changed it because there was another David Jones singing in the 1960s.
David Bowie first became famous following his 1969 hit "Space Oddity". This song was
released4 just ten days before the first Moon
landing5. In 1972, Bowie became a leader of the glam rock movement. He wowed and shocked people with his make-up, dresses and
flamboyant6 costumes. His Ziggy Stardust persona was the first of many different characters Bowie would use every time he changed musical direction.
Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Bowie continued to break new ground with his music. In 1975, he experimented with soul music and had a number one hit in the USA with the song 'Fame'. He also helped to pioneer the electronic and new romantic movements in the mid-1970s. In the early-80s, he was one of the first artists to use videos to promote his songs.
Throughout the 1990s and 2000s, Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles, including industrial and jungle. His fans thought he had given up making music after a ten-year break starting in 2003. He surprised the world by suddenly announcing a new album, 'The Next Day' in 2013. He released his final album days before his death. Many believe the album was Bowie's goodbye to his fans.
